Museum Stamp Rally – Animal Crossing: New Horizons Wiki Guide
For the stamp rally, Blathers tasks you with finding three stamp spot stations in the bug gallery, the fish gallery, and the fossil gallery. Once you find each gallery’s three stamp stations, you can return to Blathers for a reward.
Every stamp spot has a name. You’ll see them on the cards once you find your first stamp in an area. Interact with the stamp spot, then when the card shows up, press “A” to collect your stamp. Pressing “B” will close the card and you won’t get your stamp.
The Stamp Rally changes daily. However, the prizes do not change. So while you can complete the stamp rally every day, you’ll just get duplicate rewards.
Run time: May 18th – May 31st

Bug Stamp Spot: Sun-Peek Path
This spot is in the first room. If you take an immediate right upon entering the room from the main entrance then take another left at the first path, you’ll find it! It’s in front of the Citrus Long-horned Beetle display.
Upon interacting with stamp spot you’ll get this message:
“There’s something very relaxing about this space.”
Bug Stamp Spot: Shady Path
This stamp spot is on the path immediately to the right of the bug gallery main entrance.
Upon interacting with this stamp spot you’ll get this message:
“It seems like the temperature-climate bugs are relaxing here.”
Bug Stamp Spot: Quiet Bench
You’ll find this stamp spot on the far left side of the first room by the stairs next to the entrance to the butterfly room. It’s called the “Quiet Bench” stamp spot.
Once you approach it, you’ll get the following message:
“Sometimes it’s nice to take a short breather and relax on the bench.”
Bug Stamp Spot: Hiding Bugs
This stamp spot is directly in front of the three “hiding bugs” displays in the back room of the bug gallery. It’s right next to the door that leads to the butterfly room. This is the “Hiding Bugs” spot.
Once you approach it, you’ll get the following message:
“Bugs: Masters of disguise!” Now all that’s left is The Lab!
Bug Stamp Spot: The Lab
As the stamp spot name suggests, you’ll find this stamp spot by the lab area in the back right corner of the back bug room. It’s on the ramp leading into the lab (which is just past the underground bugs exhibit.)
Once you approach it, you’ll get the following message:
“I bet some groundbreaking research goes on here.”
Bug Stamp Reward[edit]
Once you’ve collected all the bug stamps, return to Blathers.
He’ll be a bit surprised at your ability to make it quickly through the bug gallery (since, you know, he hates bugs) and will reward you with a Bug Plaque.
Upon entering the fish gallery, go down toward the first tank (or take an immediate right!). You’ll see the stamp spot just in front of this small tank.
Approaching the stamp spot gives you this message:
“Little guys, just chillin’ in a little tank. Must be nice.”
Indeed, it must be nice.
Fish Stamp Spot: The Coast
This stamp spot is right by the door that leads from the river and pond room, so it’s a hard one to miss!
Upon approaching you’ll get this message:
“Must…not…let…fish…know…I’m…craving…sushi…”
Brutal.
Fish Stamp Spot: Icy Sea
This spot is in the back corner of the ocean room, just up the stairs and I’m the corner.
Upon approaching you’ll get this message:
”That’s as chilly as it gets!’
Fish Stamp Spot: Abyss
The Abyss stamp spot is, you guessed it, by the spooky deep sea fish tank in the back right room of the museum. The stamp spot is at the base of the ramp, giving you the perfect view of the big, ancient fish.
Upon approaching the stamp spot you’ll get this message:
“How far down are we?”
With your fish stamp card filled, head to Blathers for your prize.
He’ll remind you that the fish gallery makes for an elegant backdrop for photos, which is true! Then he’ll give you that final stamp along with the Fish Plaque.
Fossil Stamp Spot: Mollusks/Arthropods
You’ll spot this stamp spot as soon as you enter the fossil gallery. It’ll be on your left, right by the pamphlet stand.
Upon approaching you’ll get this message:
“No backbone. But still tough, I bet.”
Fossil Stamp Spot: Pterosaurs
This stamp spot is also an easy find. As soon as you walk into the second room of the fossil gallery, you’ll see this stamp spot straight ahead.
Upon approaching the stamp spot you’ll get this message:
“They should call this display ‘NOT Dinosaurs, Chapter Two.'”
Fossil Stamp Spot: Extinction Spot
This stamp spot is near the front middle of the main fossil room. It’s right by the dot that gives you a good view of the taller fossils.
Upon approaching the stamp spot you’ll get this message:
“What’s that big orb near the ceiling? I’m sure it’s fine…”
OOF.
Fossil Stamp Spot: Cenozoic
This stamp spot is in the back room of the fossil exhibit.
Upon approaching you’ll get this message:
“What are those silhouettes above and behind them?”
Fossil Stamp Reward[edit]
Make your way to Blathers with your finished fossil stamp card for your fossil prize.
Blathers is just happy to see you running around the fossil exhibit. He’ll give you a Fossil Plaque for your efforts.
Collecting the three stamps from the fossil, bug, a fish wings of the museum will earn you a reward for every completed card. Blathers gives you the following stamp rally prizes:
- Fish Plaque
- Bug Plaque
- Fossil Plaque
These are the same design as the ones you see in the museum. Remember, you can take part in the museum stamp rally daily, but you’ll only ever get these three as rewards.
The fossil plaque, bug plaque, and fish plaque all sell for 300 Bells each.
